The unanimous nomination of Ex -Governor ". Seymour by tbe New York Democratic State - Convention, has warmed the hearts and arous-fc. ed the patriotism not only of the Democracy ' 7of the Empire State, but' of the entire Union, J. The exalted character of Got. Seymour hi pplendid talents, inflexible Democracy andun--' questioned patriotism, have eccured for him "," the confidence of the good men of all parties, .t who love their countryT and wish to preserve, t unimpaired, to the latest genetation, our glori- --' ous and matchless form of government. " ' ' The Constitutional Union Convention, cbm-. posed of Old-line Whigs and Americans, which met at Troy, N Y., on the same day the De-, mocratic Convention assembled at Albany - adopted Mr.Seyujour as their candidate with. great unanimity, and appointed a committee of conference to visit the Democratic Conven-tion, for the purpose of bringing abont such a unity of action as" will insure the triumph of the true friends of the Union and the Constitution, and consequently the complete and ; overwhelming overthrow of the Common ene-... my of our country, the Abolition-fanatics of the North and Secession traitors of the South. 'At the bead of this committee was lion. James '""Brooks, the accomplished editor of athe N. Y. xprea$. v , The New York World, the ablest Eepubli- -"can paper in the city, pays a high tribute 10 the personal worth and political , intecrilv of ' Hr. Skymocr, and adds : " From the great en At . 1 . 1 a a - : luusiasm wun wnicii ne was received bv the - Convention, and the bold speech '.he made in ;Tesponse to his nomination, it is easy to iufer that the Democrats intend to make a vigorous campaign. Lost year they could hardly gain .;.the public ear, but the condition of the coun try and tfte state of public feeling have become sft altered that the Republicans are not likclv to walk over the conrse and win the race with out trial of strength." The Speech of Gov. Setmour, in accepting the nomination, will be published iu ne.t reek' Banxkk. . ' - Ijxo Devotion of. the Army to Oeneral , 7 mcClellan. The radical Abolitionists, whose malignant abuse of Gen. McClellan forced the President to place less competent men at the heail of the . Army, now discover that their insane course produced the late terrible disasters to the Federal troops betweenBnH Run and Washington. The honest, brave and untiring soldiers fought nobly, splendidly, but being commanded by incompetent and treacherous officers, in whom they had not a particle of confidence, nothing but defeat could have been expected. Hence they demanded, in a voice of thunder, that their old General, the gallant and glorious McClellan. should acain be placed in command, to lead them, on to victory. .-. -The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, one of the' most bitter of General McClellan's detractors, now feels constrained " to say : ' ' .. -"I have disbelieved the reports of the army's affection for McClellan, being entirely - unable to account for the phenomenon. I can - not account for it to mv satisfaction now, but I accept it as a fact. Even Gen. Ileintzelinan, whose entire disbelief iu General MeCIellan's Ability is well known, said forty-eight hours - ago that lie was the only man in whom the 'army aa'a whole," had confidence the only - man who could lift it out of its present demoralization: Gen. Ileintzelman, as well as other witnesses not especially friendly to McClellan, 'testified to the enthusiasm with which the eol- Tdiers welcomed their old commander." .. The Pittsburgh Dispatch, a Republican pa-1 par, heretofore unfriendly to Gen. McClellan, - now speaks of him as folllows : "Whatever difference of opinion may exist -among the people as to the ability of General -McClellaa as s commander, on one paint there 1 is a rjerfeet iinanimitv.

Hence we are' Democrala. We love our country our whole country -it soil and all on it, rocks, bills, vale?, mountains, water, and its once entirely free, and yet inherently noble men. Because we possess this love, we are Democrats. We wish to see our white ; laboring classes pro6jerous and happy, and enjoy ing that to which they are entitled, a white man's government for white men. For this reason we are Democrats. We desire to see the -negroes m that posi tion to which they have been destined by Na ture and Nature's inexorable laws in this, the white man's country, subordinated in all respects to the whit man, believing conscientiously, that all. efforts to interfere with that subordination will disturb the mysterious chain which is composed of an almost endless variety of links from the Infinite to that which is the most finite. For this cause we are Democrats. We believe that our country has been precipitated from the highest mount of prosperity and universal happiness to the lowest vale of popular suffering and national trouble, merely because half crazy political philosophers and impudent busy bodies and plundering politicians have vainly attempted to take out one link and place it by the tide of another. We know that all the opponents of Democracy have arrayed themselves with those maudlin philosophers an! graceless demagogues, and encouraged the insolent nnd impious attempt to change the" order of things' ani for this cause we are Democrats. But, it may belaid, the opponents of De mocracy profess also to le in favor of the Union. We know they do, but we 'also know that it is not an unusual thing for hypocrites to "steal the livery of Heaven to worship the devil in.'.' Albeit they were Union men, - still, they cannot restore the old Union, however honest th -y might be in their intentions, because they pu .1 different wavB, and have antagonistic modes for arriving at the grand result. This is obvious. The Unionism of ome portions of New England is not that of the Border States, nor of the majority of Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois and Ohio The Unionism of the Democratic nartv is the eame everywhere,' for it is founded on the conservative principles contained in the Constitution, and governe by the ultimate de crees of the S.ipreme Court of the United States. On this account we are Democrats. Everv partv except the Democratic and Whig parties, when in State ' power has, suc ceeded in setting at nought, (or attempted to do so.) the decisions of the Supreme Court, when thev have came in conflict with ultra, partisan views. The ' Democratic party hav ing never done this, therefore we are Democrats. .' The Democracy knows no North, no South, no East, no West, but the Constitution and the laws, for they embrace all sections, and make, and, if observed, will continue them one. E Pluribus Unnni has not lost its signification, and they are traitors who would practically mistranslate and force even one out of the many, instead of rendering to each its due, so that from the many there may be but one people. lr. No Longer a Member of the So-Called Union Party. J. Farran, Esq., of London, Ohio, publishes a card in the last Madison County Democrat, from which we make the following extract. It is just, pointed and comprehensive : I have never been a member of the Demo cratic party. 1 votea wiin tne old Wbii; or ganization until it ceased to exist, since which time I have attached mvself to do political party Last fall I favored the so-called Union tarty, and was appointed a member of the Tnion Central Committee of Madison Couuty. The action of the Union Legislature last win ter, hi refusing to pass a law to prevent the immigration of blacks into the State, and the efforts of men elected on the Union ticket to return that arch-Abolitionist, lien. Wade, to tlie United States Senate; its redisricting the State with the design of preventing the election of any but Republicans or Abolitionists to Congress, convinced roe that the pretended no-partyism of the Republicans was all sham a mere pretense to carry their odious doctrines under an assumed name. In my opinion, the labored efforts of the Republicans here and elsewhere to stigmatize as traitors, all who do not sympathize with them in their party dogmas, are doing immense harm to the Union cause, lbese and other reasons have induced me to denounce the so-called Union - organization as having wholly and completely deserted the original basis upon which it was founded. I shall hereafter have nothing to do with it, and only ask that in the future mv name will not be used by the Abobtiou sheet in this 1 r I r .u. : rY!wi u. irver.og partisan purposes. Pittsburgh'!

Hampshire, Senator Hals of that State, is reported Ui have said: "'I may be ordered to Fort Warren for the' expression T am about to make ; ; but i do not hesitate to declare that there is nothing that can parallel the exhibition of ability, vigor and resources shown by the Confederate Government, except the incapacity and jinbe cility of our own." Senator Hals (says the New York Aram.) has not been sent to Fort J Warren, and will not be. That place is-reserved for Democrats, who at some' former day, may have Offended a Cabinet officer, and who are badgered with false charges of di&loyr alty now. "': What is the secret of the contrast between rebel efficiency and the governmental helplessness? When the Confederate Government was organized, the opposition was : at once associated in the Administration. Stsphsss,' who ran with Douglas, was made Vioe-Presir dent. A Cabinet of all parties was constructed. When Cabinet officers were proved JneA ficient, they were dismissed. Loggard Generals were cashiered, deserters shot, peculators punished. The South was organized on a War basis. . '' ' " President Lixcolx, on the other hand, made up his Cabinet out of the dead-wood of. the Chicago Convention. Seward, Chasi, Caxs-rox, Bates, were all his rivals, and enemies of each ' other all disappointed and rejected men ! These worn-out pol iticiaos had thei r followers to provide for; and they fed them upon the plunder of the treasury, upon the. commissariat of the army, upon the spoils of patronage. In the crisis of the first battle of Bull Run. the President was engaged in Settling paltry claims of partisans to post offices-, and fourteen montha later, when Washington was in hourly danger - of capture, was busy making up partisan lists of Tax Collectors and Assessors selecting them upon occasion from the exposed and condemned Shoddy. contractors. ';. ; ' ;.' .-:, :':,,.. One armv at a conjuncture when the for tunes of the whole contest were dependent up-. on it, has been sacrificed to political jealous-ousies.r Another General, whose name has always been associated with defeat, has . been kept in command by the nepotism of Cabinet ministers! All the while the energies of the Government have been-directed against the press, or the free discussion of citizens,' or to seconding the private revenges and political hates of men who have secretly instigated accusations against their neighbors. Never on so great an occasion had ah administration confined itself to such paltry objects ! . . But did not Mr. Liscolx preface his inaugural oftth by the declaration that lie cortsider-e3 the decision of the Supreme . Court, in re gard to the subject of slavery, aa not binding upon him; while he felt bound to obey the in structions of the Chicago platform ? A stream never rises higher than its fountain, nor an ad ministration than its head. : All this while the people have placed in the hands of the President at Washington unlim-! ited tesources of men and money, arms, ships,! and public credit. ; It is customary to say, in excuse for the present state of affairs, that the Confederacy has exhibited unexpected resources. True;, but. has not the North shown a power and wealth of means equally surprising? ' We have raised -armies such as Europe never equaled, navies which have never been surpassed in extent, or in the use of modern improvements of warfare. We have spent money at a rate that, startles the most extravagant schemes of the Old World.' There is not an invention of war plated ship, mammoth gun, marine ram, se rial telegraph, balloon of reconnoisance, diving bell, or pontoon which we have hot had. No army ever marched, no navj ever sailed, with such pay, or provision, or armament as ours. . . ' . ' ' We stood as immeasurably above our adver saries, in resources, on the last day's battle a1 Bull Run, as a year ago.. We are now as far above them as at any time if we had . men in charge of public affaire capable qf handling three resources. There, and there alone, the con- trast lies between ourselves and our adversar ies. -; - '.- - Eneonraging'. The Washington, Pa., Examiner says, there is something sublimely heroic in the calm faith with which Democrats look forward io the in- eviuble triumph of their principles. Thev know that their principles are eternal truth and must, - therefore; prevail. The Albany 4 ryu addresses these encouraging words to the Dem. bcracy of New York.

" ' ' The Constitutional Union Convention, cbm-. posed of Old-line Whigs and Americans, which met at Troy, N Y., on the same day the De-, mocratic Convention assembled at Albany - adopted Mr.Seyujour as their candidate with. great unanimity, and appointed a committee of conference to visit the Democratic Conven-tion, for the purpose of bringing abont such a unity of action as" will insure the triumph of the true friends of the Union and the Constitution, and consequently the complete and ; overwhelming overthrow of the Common ene-... my of our country, the Abolition-fanatics of the North and Secession traitors of the South.

The radical Abolitionists, whose malignant abuse of Gen. McClellan forced the President to place less competent men at the heail of the . Army, now discover that their insane course produced the late terrible disasters to the Federal troops betweenBnH Run and Washington. The honest, brave and untiring soldiers fought nobly, splendidly, but being commanded by incompetent and treacherous officers, in whom they had not a particle of confidence, nothing but defeat could have been expected. Hence they demanded, in a voice of thunder, that their old General, the gallant and glorious McClellan. should acain be placed in command, to lead them, on to victory. .-. -The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, one of the' most bitter of General McClellan's detractors, now feels constrained " to say : ' ' .. -"I have disbelieved the reports of the army's affection for McClellan, being entirely - unable to account for the phenomenon. I can - not account for it to mv satisfaction now, but I accept it as a fact. Even Gen.

Ileintzelman, as well as other witnesses not especially friendly to McClellan, 'testified to the enthusiasm with which the eol- Tdiers welcomed their old commander." .. The Pittsburgh Dispatch, a Republican pa-1 par, heretofore unfriendly to Gen.

Hence we are' Democrala. We love our country our whole country -it soil and all on it, rocks, bills, vale?, mountains, water, and its once entirely free, and yet inherently noble men. Because we possess this love, we are Democrats. We wish to see our white ; laboring classes pro6jerous and happy, and enjoy ing that to which they are entitled, a white man's government for white men. For this reason we are Democrats. We desire to see the -negroes m that posi tion to which they have been destined by Na ture and Nature's inexorable laws in this, the white man's country, subordinated in all respects to the whit man, believing conscientiously, that all. efforts to interfere with that subordination will disturb the mysterious chain which is composed of an almost endless variety of links from the Infinite to that which is the most finite. For this cause we are Democrats. We believe that our country has been precipitated from the highest mount of prosperity and universal happiness to the lowest vale of popular suffering and national trouble, merely because half crazy political philosophers and impudent busy bodies and plundering politicians have vainly attempted to take out one link and place it by the tide of another. We know that all the opponents of Democracy have arrayed themselves with those maudlin philosophers an! graceless demagogues, and encouraged the insolent nnd impious attempt to change the" order of things' ani for this cause we are Democrats. But, it may belaid, the opponents of De mocracy profess also to le in favor of the Union. We know they do, but we 'also know that it is not an unusual thing for hypocrites to "steal the livery of Heaven to worship the devil in.'.' Albeit they were Union men, - still, they cannot restore the old Union, however honest th -y might be in their intentions, because they pu .1 different wavB, and have antagonistic modes for arriving at the grand result. This is obvious. The Unionism of ome portions of New England is not that of the Border States, nor of the majority of Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois and Ohio The Unionism of the Democratic nartv is the eame everywhere,' for it is founded on the conservative principles contained in the Constitution, and governe by the ultimate de crees of the S.ipreme Court of the United States. On this account we are Democrats. Everv partv except the Democratic and Whig parties, when in State ' power has, suc ceeded in setting at nought, (or attempted to do so.) the decisions of the Supreme Court, when thev have came in conflict with ultra, partisan views. The ' Democratic party hav ing never done this, therefore we are Democrats. .' The Democracy knows no North, no South, no East, no West, but the Constitution and the laws, for they embrace all sections, and make, and, if observed, will continue them one. E Pluribus Unnni has not lost its signification, and they are traitors who would practically mistranslate and force even one out of the many, instead of rendering to each its due, so that from the many there may be but one people. lr. No Longer a Member of the So-Called Union Party. J. Farran, Esq., of London, Ohio, publishes a card in the last Madison County Democrat, from which we make the following extract. It is just, pointed and comprehensive : I have never been a member of the Demo cratic party. 1 votea wiin tne old Wbii; or ganization until it ceased to exist, since which time I have attached mvself to do political party Last fall I favored the so-called Union tarty, and was appointed a member of the Tnion Central Committee of Madison Couuty. The action of the Union Legislature last win ter, hi refusing to pass a law to prevent the immigration of blacks into the State, and the efforts of men elected on the Union ticket to return that arch-Abolitionist, lien. Wade, to tlie United States Senate; its redisricting the State with the design of preventing the election of any but Republicans or Abolitionists to Congress, convinced roe that the pretended no-partyism of the Republicans was all sham a mere pretense to carry their odious doctrines under an assumed name. In my opinion, the labored efforts of the Republicans here and elsewhere to stigmatize as traitors, all who do not sympathize with them in their party dogmas, are doing immense harm to the Union cause, lbese and other reasons have induced me to denounce the so-called Union - organization as having wholly and completely deserted the original basis upon which it was founded. I shall hereafter have nothing to do with it, and only ask that in the future mv name will not be used by the Abobtiou sheet in this 1 r I r .u. : rY!wi u. irver.og partisan purposes. Pittsburgh'!

Senator Hals (says the New York Aram.) has not been sent to Fort J Warren, and will not be. That place is-reserved for Democrats, who at some' former day, may have Offended a Cabinet officer, and who are badgered with false charges of di&loyr alty now. "': What is the secret of the contrast between rebel efficiency and the governmental helplessness? When the Confederate Government was organized, the opposition was : at once associated in the Administration. Stsphsss,' who ran with Douglas, was made Vioe-Presir dent. A Cabinet of all parties was constructed. When Cabinet officers were proved JneA ficient, they were dismissed. Loggard Generals were cashiered, deserters shot, peculators punished. The South was organized on a War basis. . '' ' " President Lixcolx, on the other hand, made up his Cabinet out of the dead-wood of. the Chicago Convention. Seward, Chasi, Caxs-rox, Bates, were all his rivals, and enemies of each ' other all disappointed and rejected men ! These worn-out pol iticiaos had thei r followers to provide for; and they fed them upon the plunder of the treasury, upon the. commissariat of the army, upon the spoils of patronage. In the crisis of the first battle of Bull Run. the President was engaged in Settling paltry claims of partisans to post offices-, and fourteen montha later, when Washington was in hourly danger - of capture, was busy making up partisan lists of Tax Collectors and Assessors selecting them upon occasion from the exposed and condemned Shoddy. contractors.

One armv at a conjuncture when the for tunes of the whole contest were dependent up-. on it, has been sacrificed to political jealous-ousies.r Another General, whose name has always been associated with defeat, has . been kept in command by the nepotism of Cabinet ministers! All the while the energies of the Government have been-directed against the press, or the free discussion of citizens,' or to seconding the private revenges and political hates of men who have secretly instigated accusations against their neighbors. Never on so great an occasion had ah administration confined itself to such paltry objects ! . . But did not Mr. Liscolx preface his inaugural oftth by the declaration that lie cortsider-e3 the decision of the Supreme . Court, in re gard to the subject of slavery, aa not binding upon him; while he felt bound to obey the in structions of the Chicago platform ? A stream never rises higher than its fountain, nor an ad ministration than its head. : All this while the people have placed in the hands of the President at Washington unlim-! ited tesources of men and money, arms, ships,! and public credit. ; It is customary to say, in excuse for the present state of affairs, that the Confederacy has exhibited unexpected resources. True;, but. has not the North shown a power and wealth of means equally surprising? ' We have raised -armies such as Europe never equaled, navies which have never been surpassed in extent, or in the use of modern improvements of warfare. We have spent money at a rate that, startles the most extravagant schemes of the Old World.' There is not an invention of war plated ship, mammoth gun, marine ram, se rial telegraph, balloon of reconnoisance, diving bell, or pontoon which we have hot had. No army ever marched, no navj ever sailed, with such pay, or provision, or armament as ours. . . ' . ' ' We stood as immeasurably above our adver saries, in resources, on the last day's battle a1 Bull Run, as a year ago.. We are now as far above them as at any time if we had . men in charge of public affaire capable qf handling three resources. There, and there alone, the con- trast lies between ourselves and our adversar ies. -; - '.- - Eneonraging'.
